39 Best Latin American Restaurants near Farmers Branch

“Took my boyfriend's parents for their first Salvadoran food experience. Oy one of us speaks any Spanish - albeit very little. The staff did not speak English, but everyone was welcoming, warm, and we absolutely dumbked our way through a fantastic dinner. The pupusas and tamale con elote were amazing!“

“Everything is very delicious, the food is the best!!! The excellent service, we are from Chile ?? and we recommend to all people who go to this place located in Dallas, everything is very delicious, 100% recommended, congratulations ???????“

“So yummy and such a cheerful vibe between the nice (and funny) owner, decor, and music! Our faves were the Argentinian pizza, the guava & cheese, and the new Choripan! We will be back so soon. Also huge fans of the sauce they give you to go with the empanadas.“

“We went there as part of 100+ group in Dallas for a work conference. My experience there will not match a regular customer’s experience. We were in separate space and had buffet style dinner. All I can say is that their food and service were excellent.“

“Great place to be, great food, good view great service. Very friendly staff. Our server Carlos very professional and helped us with our first time here. We also meet one of his worker Abraham very friendly both amazing atmosphere. We will be coming back and bringing coworkers.“

“This is one of the best restaurants I've ever been too. To say a place like this is rare is a severe understatement. You can tell every recipe is carefully prepared, even the sides like the rice and beans. It's beautiful to see someone living their dream passionately and you can tell that's what is going on here at Miriam's.We were only in Dallas for a few days for the Eclipse, but we came back to eat another night before leaving. We couldn't bring ourselves to try another restaurant because, how often would we have the opportunity to eat this good?On top of all that, the prices are reasonable, the staff is great, and free valet... I'm completely baffled how this place is sitting at only 4.6 stars, it deserves better.Highly recommend the; guacamole, mahi mahi tacos, short rib tacos, nueva moda margarita, and the passion fruit mezcalita (if you like mezcal).Vegetarian options: There are some vegetarian and vegan offerings, but not a massive amount to choose from.Dietary restrictions: Plenty of gluten free options, but not guaranteed free of cross-contamination.Parking: When your heading toward the restaurant the parking garage is just before it on the right, you can get validated in the restaurant for the free valet.“

“Absolutely phenomenal! The atmosphere was as authentic as the sunrise its self, with all staff being fluent in Spanish, leaving me to pointing and the use of body language to order. Food was nothing short of spectacular, especially the rotisserie chicken. My favorite part was how humble the employees conducted the sales transaction, it made me feel as if I was their very first customer!“

“This place makes me feel like family when I go there, I’ve had the beef tacos and birria tacos here and they were 10/10, nice atmosphere when they turn their fun lights on, pop the dj n kareoke on Thursday n Friday, I have been there both days and had so much fun! Check it out!“

“Very nice cool and chilled place from what I could see. I was able to check out the vibe and menu, I must say this place is for the grown and sexy. I didn't get to however chill because I wasn't aware that children aren't allowed but rest for sure I will be coming back. But it I love the entire set up and look.and feel of the place.“

“PS: Their customer service is very good and they immediately contacted me. The misunderstanding was resolved.I love this place and their food but they are getting stingier with the sauce. I bought 12 Tequeños and 4 tequeyoyos and they didn't give me sauce. When I asked, the waiter gave me 3 small ones and was a little rude when I asked for more.“

“Amazing, amazing, amazing! Food is 5 ⭐️, drinks are strong & tasty, and outstanding service! Lizbeth & Francisco are long-term managers and they run a tight ship!! Always feel like welcomed family, esp with Lizbeth! Thanks for always a great experience!“

“The food is tasty and the people are friendly. My only complaint is that the servings are somewhat skimpy. They give you the smallest portion of rice and the kids literally get one small taco. I think they could work on their portion sizes for the prices.“

“Came to dinner with my lovely girlfriend had Joshua as our server, Who is absolutely amazing, very attentive, and also suggested a few items on the menu because I started a new diet. Worked with me on helping me the perfect meal. I highly recommend one of my favorite spots in town and make make sure you ask for Joshua.“

“Pretty good, first time trying Brazilian. Food was good as well as the servers. Four of us went and dined and bill was $200+.. again the food was good but personally that's a bit to much for all that unless you make good money or something“

“Third time here! and every single time this place doesn’t disappoint ,I absolutely love the food it always takes me back to my childhood! And their hand made tortillas just make everything taste better ! Their service is top notch Rudy and his brother are nice and attentive and their mom is such a sweet women ! Absolutely recommend you checking it out !?“

“EXCELLENT SERVICE FROM VANESSA, super delicious food, presentation 10/10. Without a doubt you should order the dimofongo (ripe plantain/green plantain) with chicharrón or garlic shrimp.I recommend following the recommendations that Vanesa gives.“

“Talk about a an absolute gem of a restaurant!! Traveled to Dallas with my girlfriend from California and thought we wouldn't be able to find Mexican food comparable to back home but Gloria's has what it takes to be a top restaurant. Luis was our server and gave us/the tables around us the attention that's deserving of 5 stars. The staff was very attentive and made the experience so enjoyable. The interior has both a fine dining feel and can be enjoyed by those who are looking for a casual night out. One of our favorite spots we were able to attend while on our vacation!!“

“This place should be marked in your phone as a favorite! They never disappoint. They treat you like family, and the food is incredibly authentic. If you need your cuban fix, check these guys out! So happy they have been here for so many years doing things consistent at such a high level. I would definitely recommend you stop by and just smell the place! I bet you can't just have one pastry..“

“My husband always buys free-range chicken because we really like well-fried and fresh chicken, but I heard my husband buying chicken. The truth is, it was stinky, it was already spoiled. We returned it to have it checked. It stinked, even the desire to eat the chicken. He removed the breasts.“

“We went on a Saturday evening on a weekend that appeared to be hosting a soccer game or tournament. It was extremely packed. It was chaos. The food was great and while the wait staff was nice they were very short on help. Two servers for about 13 tables and there seemed to be no method to taking the plates to the right tables. We were in no hurry so we sat patiently and enjoyed our food once it came. Kudos to the younger waitress with glasses and dark hair.....she really ran herself into the ground and never appeared frazzled. Would def go back....on a less busy day preferably.Tajadas con Carne molidaCarne AsadaPastelitos and Pupusas“

“Just had a wonderful experience at Payless store followed by a delicious meal at La Pasadita!Firstly, at Payless, I found exactly what I was looking for with ease. The store had a great selection, and the staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. They made sure I had everything I needed, and I left feeling satisfied with my purchase.After shopping, I headed to La Pasadita for some authentic Mexican cuisine. The restaurant had a cozy atmosphere and the smell of sizzling fajitas greeted me as I walked in. I ordered their famous carne asada tacos, and they were phenomenal - flavorful, tender, and served with all the traditional fixings. The service was excellent, and the staff made sure my dining experience was enjoyable from start to finish.Overall, it was a fantastic day - great shopping at Payless followed by a delicious meal at La Pasadita. I can't wait to do it all again!“

“We were driving through town looking for a place to eat to then continue our journey. The food was delicious and our waiter was so kind and helped us move quickly as we wanted to get back on the road. He also introduced me to a new food I wasn't familiar with. Delicious! Thanks, Tio Carlos, for being a friendly and tasty place for weary travelers!“

“I just had the most unforgettable night at TBD Kitchen, and I couldn't wait to share the experience! From the moment I stepped in, the place exuded a warm and welcoming vibe that set the stage for a fantastic evening.Let me tell you about Kaya, the extraordinary bartender who made the night even more special. Her passion for mixology was evident in every cocktail she crafted. Trust me; she knows how to elevate your drink game. Kaya's friendly and engaging personality added a personal touch, making me feel like a valued guest.Now, onto the food – each dish on TBD Kitchen's menu is a culinary masterpiece. The chef's dedication to using fresh, high-quality ingredients truly shines through. From appetizers to desserts, the flavors were exquisite, leaving me craving more.TBD Kitchen has this effortlessly cool ambiance, making it the perfect spot for a laid-back night out. Kaya's skill behind the bar and the delectable food make this place a standout in the local scene. It's the kind of spot you'd want to keep coming back to.“

“If you love, authentic Mexican food, you definitely will dig this place. I had the Menudo which is only offered on Sunday. It was perfect. Went here with my brother when he was on his way out of town. He loved all the food he got as well. Salsa is amazing! Service was great.“

“Service: the lady working here is so nice! Very helpful with the menu- tamale was the best tamale I've ever had! I'm not the biggest fan of tamales and these were great, even had potatoes in there-beef fajita torta was also delicious! We dined in and it was clean and a relaxed atmosphere.“

“Lovely, tranquil restaurant—we enjoyed the Vaca Blanca, served with a delightful little cookie on the side. I also had the Green Sauce Chilaquiles, and I must say, they were among the best I've ever had. We also tried the French Scrambled Eggs, which were quite tasty.“

“The portions are huge and food is so fresh! I was walking by and could smell the aroma of the food so I decided to step in. They were closing, but still welcomed me in! Made me some fresh empañadas and even gave me some sauce to try. 10/10 the food, service, and price was amazing! Please check them out!“

“Glad we came here. Mango juice was delicious and refreshing( Try it, if you're a fan of mango), the chicken with avocado arepa ( amazing), I forgot the name of my dish but it's a pancake with a sweet cheeseinside, and sour cream and cheese on top with a side of fried pork ( soooo good) and my hubby got a seafood dish served on the sweetest slice of fresh pineapple ( It was amazing). Definitely a nice spot and great food. Service was amazing. Will be back....“

“I stopped by to use the restroom and grabbed a bottle of water and a milkshake out of gratitude as my truck was having a new muffler installed at the repair shop (Abel's) across the street.The pistachio almond milkshake was amazing! There were a lot of other delicious looking items, but I had already had breakfast shortly before I arrived.I may bring the family by so they can enjoy it before we conclude our stay in the area.Update: Went again and had the chance to enjoy the Elote en Vaso (street corn in a cup), I can't even describe how good it was except for the loud "mmmmm" I let out when I took my first bite. It was fantastic all the way to the last bite as well. Also had the fresh squeezed orange juice, and they really do mean fresh squeezed. I watched them cut and squeeze several oranges, and it tasted better than any orange juice I've ever had.“

“First time dining, sat on the patio to get fresh air. Zach was wonderful from start to finish especially with his recommendations. Food was really savory even the Octopus, ate it all! Thank you Chef. Moved indoors, where it was very dimly lit and comfy. But eventually moved upstairs, where it was chill until it became lively and fun atmosphere by the end of the night. David was quick to say hello and serve, great margarita recommendation since I didnt know the specific specialty drinks. Then "...ah" girl took over, I cant remember her actual name but she was attentive and can make a good green tea. Thanks for everything from beginning to end.Parking: I didn't park, but walked over from a nearby hotel. Super walking friendly. I'd say valet was as quick as can be given the busy circumstances.“

“Pollo campero flavor it's different, that's what makes it so good!Almost as good as it is, in it's country of origin: Guatemala!The customer service could be improved.Some ladies at the cash register could be more polite and nice!“

“The staff is very friendly and the food is very fresh and with a catracho touch, the manager is very friendly and kind, I recommend a family atmosphere.Parking: If you can't find it in front, there are available ones in the back yard.“

“The place doesn’t look like much from the outside and is attached to a gas station. But most of the hidden gems are! The good is GREAT! We had made to order egg and potato tacos that were piping hot and the jalapeño taco sauce was awesome. The woman who was running the place was super friendly and knew the locals who were in there eating who also were loving their food. This is one of the places that if you’re in the area you should try something off the menu but I highly recommend!!“

“Ok. New place to us. Tienda y Restaurante Latino. Josie had tortilla soup and I had Arroz Mixto, kind of a latin take on fried rice with chicken, beef, shrimp and a fish fillet. I thought I tasted soy sauce but the owner said there wasn't. But it had have an oriental taste. The veggies are carrots, corn and onion with the addition of bell peppers and zucchini.The tortilla soup had more of a red broth like pazole or menudo than the usual chicken broth. It also had more actual chicken than Josie was expecting. Portions were such that we will both have another meal from it, though I COULD have eaten all of mine if I stuffed myself. Overall, much better than I thought when we first looked over the menu. Will definitely put this on our list of places to return to.“

“It was my first time shopping here. ?? DELICIOUS bread I bought some ❤ shells for my coworkers on Valentine's Day and not only were they pretty, they were super soft, I bought them on Tuesday afternoon so by Wednesday they were still as if they had just come out of the oven. Recommended to ?“

“I was pleasantly surprised by my visit to this Venezuelan gem, Hola Cafe, last night. I had a wonderful high-value meal, full of flavor at a very reasonable price.We had the Cachapa Trio and the Cachapa Cochino. Both were pork dishes that came with a fantastic looking cornmeal pancake folded over with a cheese sauce stuffing and garnished with cheese. It could have passed in appearance as a desert.The Cochino is fried pork and the flavor is sure to please. The portion was generous. Almost shareable.The Trio was enough for a dinner and lunch the next day. While all pork options on the trio were very good, the Avacado Pork (served cold like chicken salad) was my favorite.Our server was very competent and friendly. She was able to accommodate our quirks despite my failings with the Spanish language.Highly recommended!“

“Love the food, if you want a taste of South America, this is a great place! Tequeños, arepas and cachapas are one of my favorite! Today I tried the shrimp dish and I added plantains and it did not disappoint! Exquisite!!! Also, the caipirinhas and mojitos are on point made with real sugar?“

“We were visiting from San Antonio and decided to give this place a try since we don't have Guatemalan restaurants over there. Went there twice, the 1st time was great because they didn't have any other customers so we got all the attention. Food was great, hot, tasted delicious. The atol was perfect for the cold weather and our waitress Yani was very attentive, friendly and always ready to help whenever we needed something.The 2nd time they had no tables available when we walked in, had to wait about 15 minutes and once we got a table no one came to clean or take our order until my husband got up and asked someone to please take care of us. They said it was a busy day and they were missing staff. Other tables had the same issues. Our order took forever to arrive, we basically had to get up to get everything we needed. Food tasted good that day but was cold.The place was clean, bathrooms not so much. They always have good music and friendly staff. The owner is also very friendly and always doing whatever he can to make our experience great.Overall, we will come back because we loved the food but maybe make sure the place isn't too crowded.“
